Challenge Poverty Week takes place every year, usually in October. This year, Challenge Poverty Week England and Wales is 14-20th October, and Challenge Poverty Week Scotland is 7-13th October.
Challenge Poverty Week is a time to act together to end poverty, to tell people in power what needs to change, and to help enable everyone to thrive.
Together with Church Action on Poverty and as part of the Let’s End Poverty movement, we have created a collection of resources to help you and your churches engage with Challenge Poverty Week. We’ve got ideas to help you with services, group activities, prayers, and actions you can take towards creating a future where poverty doesn’t exist.
